Of course it's possible. Montreal wasn't even the first screw job in the WWF, Wendi Richter got screwed too back in the 80's (and wasn't seen on WWE television for almost another twenty years), though it wasn't as obvious and blatant to the people who witnessed it as Montreal was.

Before last night i would have said no to this but they've brought in a good angle with laurinartis.

since rock hit the people's elbow on him on smackdown

I could see laurinatis going in to help cena, not exactly a screwjob but something very similar and i think there's a possibility that could happen because i know that match will not end without some sort of controvery otherwise it'll be blown out by the previous matches just like it was last year.

I never heard Wendi Richter? Who is that!? What do it get Screw off in WWE?

Legend

Oh yet. Why did she levre? And if she was screw in the 80's how can she not be on tv in wwe for 20 years?

She refused to drop the title or something. So she got screwed. She and WWE ended up on bad terms with each other and that's why they didn't work together again (and even then, only briefly) until like 2009 or something. She and Cyndi Lauper made a special appearance on Raw.

At that time, people took wrestling far more seriously. I don't think it could pass over as anything much these days. It was legit shock back then. Just look at Punk's rant. Sure, it was the talk of the town at the time, even gets mentioned here and there, though I don't see it much, but, I don't think anyone will be talking about it in 10, 20 years like they do with the Montreal Screwjob. Nothing could ever compare to the impact that had on the wrestling world, it was just so huge.

It obviously wasn't the only screwjob that ever happened, but, it is certainly the most talked about. I guess just basing it on my years of watching wrestling and how much it has changed, I can't see any kind of screwjob ever being as big or seriously taken as previous ones (as someone has already also mentioned Wendi's screwjob, though it isn't talked about as much, either).

I always thought it would have been funny if Triple H had gotten screwed because of a falling out with the McMahons or something. That would have arguably topped the Montreal Screwjob considering his position in the company for the past several years. Would have been ironic too, considering he was the one who came up with the specifics of screwing Bret Hart.

It's practically impossible but seeing the two above posts made me think about their Wrestlemania match, say Brock has the Kimura on Trips and out comes Vince / Steph and calls for Brock's win without Hunter tapping. It could go one of two ways, either Steph wants her husband to stop putting himself through the torment of competing for good or Heyman has threatened their family unless they threw the match. It'd be an interesting twist away from the expected outcome.
